Somethings to watch out for.
Over the next few weeks some of the things that have/will start to occur are,
Roe Deer rutting - it's that time of year when Roe deer can be seen and heard as males defend territories and females seek out the males. Last Saturday evening I witnessed for a brief period my first Roe deer rut, this takes the form of a doe(female) leading a buck(male) a merry dance(more like a late evening stroll) as he follows in her every step until she allows him to mate with her. Look out for Roe deer rutting in fields edged by woodland.
Toad in the Road - please keep your eyes open when driving especially at night as I have noticed quite a few of these nationally endangered species on the move just lately. If you do see one, if possible help it across - do not worry they will not give you warts contary to popular belief.
Swallows/House Martins/Sand Martins and Swifts - forming into large busy feeding groups. In places literally thousands of these birds can be seen gathering together to feed and roost. Popular sites locally include Callis Bridge and High Royd, if you know of others please let me know.
